I had to take care of myself
The first question of the daily is how is the one who replaced Jean-Pierre Pernaut a little over a year ago. “I’m doing so much better! Finally, I look ahead and no longer behind. Knowing that I am back on the air on Monday (May 16) is enough for my happiness. During my four and a half months of absence, I waited to resume a normal life and my work. I had no choice: I had to take care of myselfshares the journalist, who has come a long way. When you are hit by such an ordeal, it cuts your legs and you either dive or bounce higher. Me, I bounce higher. Today, I feel stronger and full of energy. I have always been calm. There, I come back even more zen.“
Touched by aamoebic keratitis“, “infection of the cornea by amoebas, parasites found in tap water“, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau had the green light from Professor Éric Gabison, deputy head of department and specialist in corneal pathologies at the Rothschild Foundation in Paris, to take over the controls of the 1 p.m. news.”For several weeks I saw him every day, then every other day. Then, it was necessary to reaccustom my eye to the light, to re-educate it. At first I wore sunglasses then I started taking them off. My eye has resumed its habits with surrounding light. He now accepts it. Over the past ten days, I tested a working day: in the morning I wrote a diary to get him used to the computer and in the afternoon I recorded fake news. My eye reacted very well. If I resume, everything is back to normal”she explains.
Throughout her absence, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau was replaced by Jacques Legros. Recently questioned about his colleague, the latter had refused to speak about his illness. “I can tell you about my health, but not his, he said on the show Chez Jordan. It’s up to her. She did it on social media. It’s not up to me in the newspaper to say how Marie-Sophie Lacarrau is doing. It is not possible, outbid the host before concluding with a note of hopeI hope she will come back.
On February 26, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau gave her news in a video posted on her Instagram page. “So yes, I wear sunglasses, it’s to protect my eye which is still fragile. I don’t want to dwell on my case“, she explained before paying tribute to her replacement “who since ensures so much with the team of 1 p.m..”
